Recounts

The Commission has addressed the use of funds raised for recount purposes in AO 2010-14 (permitting the use of such funds before an election for
certain recount-related purposes) and AO 2010-18 (permitting the redesignation of excess recount funds to a state party committee’s federal account). Committees must disclose
funds received for a recount as “Other Receipts” and funds spent as “Other Disbursements.”
